"I must say that my experience at lunch today was incredibly disappointing. I had been looking for a suitable place to enjoy a quiet lunch with my Grandmother before visiting an exhibition at the British Museum. Starting on a positive note, the staff were excellent at providing a pre-lunch Gin Tonic in the hotel before we moved into the dinning room. Unfortunately after that things started to go down hill. The dinning room was deserted for lunch on a Saturday. As it later became apparent, this was intentional. Two groups of walk-ins were turned away and told that the restaurant was “fully booked” despite it only having only two people in it. This is a restaurant that clearly doesn’t want your business. On the food quality, I had ordered the fishcake starter which was to be served with a poached egg. The poached egg had been boiled to an inch of its life. The yolk was rock hard and going grey. I am not certain how such an error could occur in a restaurant that only had two diners. Further my Tuna from the Grill menu was barely cooked at all. Despite these issue the bill also proved challenging. Firstly, I had to remind them that our drinks had not been added to the bill. Secondly, despite the issues they had still had the nerve to add a 12.5% gratuity to the bill. At no point when we were leaving did they attempt to apologise. For those reading to the end of this review, do not visit this “non-restaurant”, they clearly do not value their customers."

"Who knew there was an outdoor ski lodge just behind the British Museum?? The Montague had done a fantastic job of recreating a covered bar and informal dining area in their patio area and it was great fun! The menu set up was different to what was described on TT there was no set price anything which made it more expensive than expected but also more flexible as two of our group ended up not drinking. The two choices of fondue were delicious and the tasting platter looked amazing. Service was really friendlyalthough there were times when the bar was unattended so we had to wait for more drinks etc but that was minor as the staff had really got into the spirit and made it a really great experience. I'll definitely be returning next year"

"Everything from the Service to the Food was 5 star. How this place hasn’t got a Michelin Star is beyond me. Have eaten at Ramsey Kerridge restaurants and the food here is just as good. Would highly recommend"

"I had a wonderful afternoon at this restaurant, which catered exceptionally well to my vegetarian dietary needs. Instead of the typical boring sandwiches, they offered a variety of delicious options. The venue itself is absolutely stunning—a true hidden gem! The decor features amazing artwork from around the world. The service was excellent, and our waiter was very attentive. I will definitely return in the future!"

"Excellent quality food, super friendly service and right in the heart of Somerset House, and thus London. No music at lunchtime so you can actually have a chat without shouting. Great after visiting Van Gogh or just the gallery at The Courtauld. One downside, rather small salad portions so had to order extra bread or a toasty."

"I got my friend there for a birthday contract. The man at the reception was not very friendly. Looks like he didn't want to be there. I wanted to take a place in the reception area and bring us drinks menu. We ordered two teas. They came to our small table in the reception area without teaspoon or sugar just a little milkpot. We were then brought along the main menu we didn't want as we wanted the afternoon tea menu. He brought this and we said we wanted the afternoon tea. Then he told us we have to book this in advance! I was not given the opportunity to book any meal online. We just died to order scene. They were taken to the table at the reception to ask if we could sit in the main restaurant, what they said we could. We had to bring our pot of tea and cups etc. to the restaurant. There were only three other people there all the time. The food was okay. Scones very small for the price. It was cold, no music and no atmosphere. The staff was not over friendly and we couldn't wait to go. Will not disturb getting back what a shame is, because the attitude is very beautiful."

There were only three other people in there the whole time we were there. The food was ok. Scones very small for the price. It was cold, no music and lacked atmosphere. The staff weren’t over friendly and we couldn’t wait to leave. Won’t bother returning which is a shame as the setting is very nice."

"I've been invited to eat here by two friend I haven't seen for a while, to get a bit of catch up. I wasn't really sure about this spot, but they were both curious about pancakes and Nutella and live quite close by, so I couldn't refuse. The place is quite rustic with an attempt at traditional old Dutch style that doesn't work that well, looking more like an outdated American Diner. The staff is quite attentive and helpful but need more people given the location. We decided to try both the savoury and sweets ones, sharing an Eggs Florentine, a base with mix cheese, the chocolate and the Nutella. We had leftovers because the portions were massive. Sadly the quality is not the best, but...read more"

"Probably the most satisfying meal I've ever eaten anywhere, and I enjoy eating out. The quality was top-notch, as was the service! I'm probably classed as a slightly picky eater now, only a few things I can't stand, and willing to try things I swore I would never eat previously (hence the snail and the rabbit). A very nice main, nothing to compare it to, but it didn't feel or taste overdone and the potatoes, mushrooms and mustard sauce were a very nice accompaniment. Especially the potatoes. The duck was a bit tough on the outside, but the inside looked good (I only tried a bit of the outside as it wasn't mine) and the chips were nice. I didn't get the waiter's name so I'll ask, if he's there, when I go back. The menu made everything sound good, which is rare. I don't eat meat when out unless the welfare standards and quality are assured, which they are here, so I have free reign! I want to try everything at least once, but the baked Alaska made me gush to everyone I speak to about it and want to drag them right there specifically for it, although I also want all of the other food... Choices, choices."

"If a restaurant advertises a very restricted menu for a fixed price for a special occasion -they shouldn't change the menu for the worse without telling people that have booked in advance so that they can withdraw . No pheasant (replaced with blander guinea fowl)...no rum baba and no green beans with the steak. The potato with my meal was not cooked and was inedible (they gave me a free coffee in compensation). I really like their Sunday lunch but this matches my experience of their Thanksgiving dinner when the advertised pumpkin pie turned out to be a sort of Danish pastry with a blob of jam on it."

"Excellent food but the evening was spoiled because instead of bringing the Carafe of White Vermentino that we ordered a very expensive £60 bottle was brought to us. The waiter insisted that this was what we had ordered even though the wine was not even white but orange. This bottle was eventually replaced by another £40 bottle of white Vermentino which we accepted. When the bill arrived we had been charged for both bottles with a discount on the first that we had sent back. After much wrangling and telephone conversation between the waiter and the manager we declined to pay for any part of the orange wine or the service charge I spoke with the manager the next day who didn't accept any responsibility for what had happened basically saying that the waiter's version of events differed and that she wasn't there so could not comment. She eventually conceded that the waiter's one fault was that he could be slightly inattentive and she admitted that the orange Vermentino should not have been listed under white wine. She also admitted that she had not authorised the charge made on the returned bottle. After asking me to repeat my version of events four times and saying she couldn't understand it she finally said that she was sorry we hadn't enjoyed the evening. We won't be returning and I would recommend anyone going there to check both the wine brought to them and their bill carefully"

"a friend recommended us to come here and now I see why. now full disclosure, I am a sweet tooth, so I was already sold on the concept, but they also do hearty dishes, so there is something for everyone. the atmosphere is very welcoming and the decor is worth a few snapshots. we found the personal friendly and very helpful, but they probably want to know about eating, right? it was delicious. I was angry about the fact that I could not try everything in their massive menu of sweet and hearty pancakes, sides, waffeln and other tasty. they immediately know that they have to come back because if they have no infinite space in their mouth, they cannot have everything that is not so bad, as it is such a beautiful experience. that said, remember while they have typical sides like chips etc., most dishes are broken, so if this is simply too sweet for them this is an excellent place for an inward/breakfast treatment come. all that said I can't wait to come back and finish what I started!"

"We approached the restaurant to see from the window that no one was inside which was worrying. I was put off and contemplated finding another restaurant. Called to ask if they was even open and turns out you have to enter and go downstairs. First impression wasn't great. Service was okay and the restaurant looked nice. I ordered the Fillet medium rare, what came was not medium rare but more medium well done, my wife ordered the chicken which was lovely. I was offered a replacement but I didn't want to wait whilst my wife had eaten her food."

"The restaurant also does other puddings too like apple pie, banana splits, butterscotch, waffles and even an 'ice cake '…..this is definitely somewhere for me to go when I have a sweet tooth. Although not for a while as my best friend Amanda and I have decided to give up sweets and chocolate for lent. Arabella thinks I am crazy, I am not holding my breath that I will last til Easter but I can try."

"This was my second visit to Cafe Royal. The first time was about six months ago when my husband and I received a gift voucher for afternoon tea. We had the Jubilee afternoon tea and it was fantastic. We were very impressed with everything. This time, I went with three friends to celebrate their pregnancy. We had the regular afternoon tea. I was not as impressed this time. The staff was friendly and attentive, but there were some things I didn't like. Due to the pregnancy, we could only eat two out of the four sandwiches offered. The service was inconsistent, we had to ask for water and had trouble paying at the end of the meal. Despite the lack of busyness, we did not receive all the baked goods promised. However, the scones were delicious. It cost £80.50 per person without champagne, including service charge. It felt overpriced for what we received. The restaurant has a nice dining room, but the service and food were not up to standard, so I will not be returning."

"Our experience at this restaurant was the worst in a long time. Despite being in tier 3, the restaurant was crowded with no social distancing measures in place. We were served poor quality food from a disappointing menu and paid more than we should have. Cuvee is turning into a disreputable establishment, which is a shame considering it started off well. We weren't the only ones who left early, and even our waitress seemed close to tears. It's unacceptable to put your staff at risk like this."

"New Management. I discovered this cafe 3 years ago when a lovely brunette girl by the name Jerry and her mother Sonya had taken over management. For 3 years the cafe has worked like clockwork with amazingly cheap comfort food. The family have run this cafe with love tha reflected on the way they treated their customers. I have witnessed members of staff hugging other customers and I myself have neen given several freebies. The chef (mother) even baked her own spinach cake and allowed me to try it for free. Unfortunately, this family have left and have been replaced by a new group of people who should not be allowed to run a cafe. Even the cakes are what you would get for £10 in Costco....read more"
